Facial Rejuvenation procedures are intended to help combat the undesirable affects of aging. If you feel that the face looking back at you in the mirror appears saggy and tired when inside you are still young and alive, facial rejuvenation can help you look as good as you feel! Dr. Morrow can help you regain your youthful appearance.

It has been said that the eyes are the "windows of the soul." You want yours to project your individuality. If your eyes are making you look depressed, angry, or tired -- regardless of how you feel -- you may want to consider a cosmetic procedure that will give you a whole new outlook. Doctors call it blepharoplasty, but you just might call it marvelous. The skin around the eyes is one of the first areas of the face to show signs of aging. It is not unusual to see hooded upper lids or bags around lower lids appearing when you are still in your 30s. Heredity plays a big part. Droopy down-turned eyes and overhanging upper lids often run in families, but that does not mean you have to live with the problem. A cosmetic surgery consultation with Dr. Morrow can help you decide if you are a good candidate for eyelid surgery. Before making the final decision, you will have to see your eye doctor to be sure that you can undergo the procedure.

Upper eyelid surgery involves removal of excess fat, muscle and loose skin through an incision placed in a natural skin fold. It is frequently performed in conjunction with lower eyelid surgery, where a similar type of procedure is performed through an incision inside the lower eyelid. Typically this outpatient surgery takes about two hours using twilight anethesia. It may be performed along with a browlift, facelift or laser skin resurfacing to achieve the best results.

Swelling and bruising will last about one week, and discomfort is easily controlled with a mild analgesic.

Your eyebrows and forehead get lots of use during the course of the day. Whether you are laughing, crying, worrying, or sleeping, the muscles in your forehead are busy stretching and contracting. All of this activity has an adverse effect on your skin. Deep vertical frown lines are a common problem, as are drooping eyebrows and horizontal wrinkles on the forehead. Some people even find their eyebrows settling onto their eyelashes where they interfere with vision and cause a distinctly hooded look. Men are particularly vulnerable to this problem. If your problem is droopy or heavy eyebrows, a permanently furrowed brow, or a tense angry look that does not go away, a forehead lift may benefit you.

The incisions are usually hidden in the hairline along a natural crease to minimize scar visibility. In this manner loose skin is tightened elevating droopy brows and smoothing forehead wrinkles. Sometimes it is necessary to remove a portion of muscle to create a more youthful expression. If the endoscope is used, a series of smaller incisions are made behind the hairline to produce the desired effect. The operation typically takes 2 hours on an ambulatory basis. General or twilight anesthesia is used, and it is often performed in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures. Bandages are worn for 4 days, sutures removed in 7-10 days. By this time most of the swelling and bruising has gone. For most patients the recovery time will not exceed 2 weeks.

Time, gravity and years of exposure to the elements help to bring about the inevitable signs of aging in facial skin. As we age, facial skin loosens, thins and sags. Wrinkles develop, and pouches may form in the cheeks, jawline and neck. Aging may be inevitable, but looking old before your time is not. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, can turn back the clock and restore the youthful appearance that reflects the way you feel inside. On the other hand, some choose to have a facelift at a younger age as part of a preventative maintenance program. The results are more subtle, and "refirming lifts" may be performed every several years allowing you to maintain your youthful appearance without seeming to age.

During an outpatient three hour procedure which is typically performed using twilight anethesia, incisions are carefully placed around the ears and into the hairline. A small cannula connected to suction helps to sculpt the fatty tissue of the lower face and neck. The skin is then lifted and the underlying muscles and connective tissue are tightened and secured. The skin is artfully redraped, and excess skin is removed. A bulky bandage is maintained for four days; sutures and staples are removed by the tenth day, when nearly all the bruising and swelling is gone. Mild discomfort is easily controlled with analgesics.

Endoscopic and laser treatments are techniques that allow Dr. Morrow to perform many rejuvenation procedures with minimal incisions, thereby reducing the visibility of scars. In this manner, swelling and bruising are less, allowing for a shorter recovery period. During your consultation with Dr. Morrow, he will inform you which procedures may be performed with this minimally invasive surgery in order to help you select the best technique suited to your particular condition.
